So true. I forgot to add that to my reasons in my earlier post. Many many names come to mind here.

Hollywood loves to churn out big CGI, big bang crash wallop explosion films with poor story lines.

True again. Too wrapped up in attemtping to give that bang experience.

On the other hand The Watchmen had less CGI, a more imaginative story (IMHO)

Another movie about Super Heroes.
Hmm, i thought the acting was mediocre at the best of times.

I'm more apt to believe it was too much movie for the simple minds looking for all those explosions found in Avatar. CGI didn't hurt District 9.

Probably. Like i said in my previous post, times have changed, so have movie goers' expectations.
The 'patience' factor has gone, people want action action action, i think most don't give a rat's about story line anymore.
Could you imagine Once upon a time in America being redone?
The movie was looong, but one of the best movies i've ever seen.
And with today's yuppies, hip teenie boppers and pimply-faced gum-chewing crowd they'd throw rotten eggs at it.
